Using Euler's method, calculate the local and global truncation errors for \(h = 0.1\) over the interval [0, 1] for the differential equation \(dy/dx = y\) with \(y(0)=1\).
💡 Hint: Look for patterns in how errors accumulate across the defined interval.
Explain the trade-off between accuracy and computational resources when choosing step sizes in truncation errors.
